We went to see snow in Ruidoso, New Mexico with my In-laws, Roey and Ale. It turns out we went during a snow drought – if that’s even a word.

Snow has not fallen since October! 😱

I read on a weather channel article that NM has broken a record of snow not falling for a long period of time.

Although snow didn’t fall it was still cold. We still went to ski resorts and snow parks to play and slide in the snow. It was fun and exciting, especially for Ale!

Here are some of the things that I learned that you might need for a cozy warm winter vacation!

• Fleece/Sherpa Jacket
• Poofy Jacket
• Thick Jeans : Maybe toss in a thermal pair of pants just in case. But always go with a nice thick pair of jeans.
• Blankets : You Can never have enough blankets! Fleece is always better.
• Sweaters
• Cardigan
• Booties : These are more fashionable, always think of getting a low heel boot when traveling. If you have room toss in heeled ones! All in your preference.
• Snow boots : I bought mine at Academy from the brand Magellan. I also saw some great deals in Poshmark.
• Fuzzy Socks
• Long sleeves
• Beanies
• Sunglasses
• Scarf
• Chapstick
• Socks
• Lotion/Facial cream
• Gloves

Hope you found this useful. I’m a girl who has never been to snowy places or where it gets lower than 40 degrees. If you take vacations or live in snowy parts of the world! Comment and let us know what’s important to take when traveling or visiting!

Always –
